Dickey's Barbecue Pit — Restaurant in Ohio

I used to live in a different town that had a Dickey's and I loved it, so I was very excited to see this open in Chillicothe. My husband and I got sandwiches from here when they first opened and they were good. That was during lunch hour so they were busy and the food was fresh then. Seems like there is always more management and owner involvement when places first open, so the food was fine then. This most recent time we ordered takeout on a Sunday evening. It was 5:30-6 so it wasn't like it was right before closing. The food was very disappointing though. We each ordered a three meat plate with two servings of brisket and one serving of ribs. We only got two slices of brisket each. Two slices is not the same thing as two servings, we should have got four slices each. So basically we paid for a three meat plate but only got a two meat plate. The ribs were dry. Actually they were hard, and unchewable. The brisket was also tough and dry, although not as bad as the ribs. The Dickey's I remember was generous with the BBQ sauce, not this place. Some of the sides were old and mushy and the tea was watered down. I actually requested tea with no ice so I could add my own ice at home, but they filled that cup with ice anyway. So I basically had tea flavored water. My husband did say his fried okra was okay, I'm assuming that had to be made fresh. But everything else was just sad. I told my husband that the dinner roll was the best part of the meal, which is sad. It seems they are taking a lot of cost cutting measures and the quality is suffering. I will not be surprised if they don't stay in business for more than a couple years. I can't recommend this location. I still enjoy Dickey's BBQ and would stop at other locations if I was traveling, but this location is not representative of the company as a whole. It's not cheap either so to anyone considering eating here, just don't. Take your...

It looks good and all but they're too expensive to take a gamble on!! I've talked to MANY people about this place and they many seem to have had similar experiences. But this was MY experience...... We've tried it 3 separate times and ALL THREE TIMES we were given NOTHING but FAT in at least 1 out of 5 meals! The first time I thought, hey man... No big deal. They'd just opened, maybe they were short on supplies or staff, whatever... no biggie. So I took the loss & gave them the benefit of a doubt. The second time I was pretty disappointed, but again thought 'Well they haven't been open too long....' kinda gave them the same excuse. The third and FINAL time was last month. Once again, I foolishly gave them over $100 of my money, we ordered 5 plates of the beef brisket(×2) (4 regular adult meals & one kids meal) & two of them had ZERO meat whatsoever, like not even a bite! I've worked in the service industry & because of that I'm ALWAYS a little more understanding & grateful than the average person. I don't mind paying the price for quality or even tipping VERY well...but we were severely disappointed not to mention having to go get dinner for 2 of my family members elsewhere.... To say it was frustrating is an understatement! Call me a Karen, say what you will, but they will NEVER get our money...

We were there at about 11:15. There were two people working. I get that COVID has changed everything and places are shirt staffed, but I am too at my job and don't get to be mean to people. The female was on the phone taking an order and when she was done, she threw the phone across the kitchen and said she's not taking anymore orders. They had just opened 15 minutes before. Our order was wrong and she rolled her eyes when I asked for the other part to make it right. She was rude to my father when he was trying to pay. The male working could only do one thing at a time and took forever to put meat on a bun, then wouldn't take the next person's order until he put the meat on each bun. That's the least efficient way to do anything. The food was cold, mediocre, and way too expensive for the quality and attitude. I am not even kidding when I say I got a side of green beans that was all liquid with SEVEN GREEN BEANS! No wonder I couldn't get anyone to go with me. I haven't heard one good thing about the place, but I rarely listen to people, but listen to me. Save your money and go to 7 Mile or Old...
